Support for private Docker image repositories?

[MountainMan]

Hello...

Kicking the tires of the latest Scale release to see what's available for K8S and Docker. While I understand it's not as common, I do have several personal projects/images that are hosted on private image repositories (requiring auth). Anyone know if that's on the roadmap for support in the UI? (vs some other manager like Portainer, Rancher, or potentially logging root(?) in from the cli assuming that might possibly get used)

Thanks!

Not aware of it... you might want to suggest a feature in the bug tracking system.

Firstoff:
I think you mean a "docker registry", a "repository" is what we call the place storing helm charts ;-)

That being said:
You can already use a custom registry...
See: https://medium.com/faun/private-container-registry-on-kubernetes-78118a62a9c8

This is a CLI approach, but as soon as the authentication is done you can just enter the url under "image" when adding a custom docker image using the UI :)
(for public registries that aren't docker, you can just enter the url without going through CLI authentication secrets)

TLDR:
- Custom registry is just as easy as adding an url to the image in the "image" field
- Adding authentication secrets is not yet supported in UI

Yep, I was just going with what it's labeled in the UI ("Image Repository") via the Launch Docker Image button, which did seem odd.

Interesting. Seems I'd be best investing some time getting more familiar with Kubernetes, considering that's running the show, even in the case of deploying what would normally be a single Docker container. Thanks!
